NovelEnglish“So now, you are on her side?” Victor’s tone was cold.
“Of course, not!” Ivan was quick in his response.
He was afraid to ruffle Victor’s feathers.
“Maybe Miss Bedidn’t want you to worry about her.
Your relationship with her is getting better these days.
I just don’t want to see it get worse because of misunderstanding.”
Victor looked at the closed door.
His eyes were gloomy.
He didn’t say a thing.
No one knew what he was thinking about.

“Or else.”
He thought he had indulged Rachel enough.
She had crossed his bottom line repeatedly.
He would never let her go easily if she escaped from him.
‘Rachel, you’d better not betray me.’
Victor pressed the doorknob and pushed the door open.
Bright light welcomed them.
It illuminated everything, including the pool of blood on the floor.
Half an hour ago
After following the maid to dress up, Rachel didn’t immediately return to her room.
Instead, she went to a remote area on the other side of the deck.
There was a clear yellow mark on the floor, which was a platform for a helicopter to land.
The staff would occasionally cup here to rest.
But since most of them were attending the celebration party tonight, there was no one else here at the moment.
Rachel leaned forward slightly with her elbows against the railing, letting the refreshing sea breeze blow through her thick black hair.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing footsteps cfrom behind.
“Boss, it’s Alice.
Watch out!” Quintin’s urgent warning resonated from Rachel’s earpiece.
The attacker quickened her pace, closing in on her target like a vicious predator.
A sneer formed at the corner of Rachel’s mouth.
She had expected this assault on her and was well-prepared for it.

“Rachel, I’ll kill you!” Alice screamed at the top of her lungs and charged forward with a knife in hand.
In the heat of the moment, she didn’t notice the rope lying across the floor.
Crash!
Caught unaware, Alice tripped over the rope and fell heavily to the floor.
Her knees hit the floor, and she cried out in pain while the knife fell a few feet away from her.
Rachel simply stood there with an icy gaze directed at the dazed
Alice.
Trying to ignore the searing pain in her legs, Alice forced herself to get back up and grabbed the knife with her hand.
But before she could even take a step forward, her knees soon buckled, and she fell once more.
Alice couldn’t exert any strength, as if her ankle was tied to something.
No matter how hard she wriggled and squirmed, she couldn’t break loose from it.
The veins on the back of her palm suddenly turned red.
